Being a first-time manager is not easy and often does not come with the necessary training. 68% of the UK's managers are accidental, having performed extraordinarily well at their role; these managers are thrust into management positions without the new skills needed to effectively lead their teams into the future. We also find that more senior/experienced managers lack the right skills to lead effectively from the front.
